Heartwarming also to read your very personal thoughts. You seem to me as a quite deep and sincere mind….sharing music through love as well as your love through the music…. As this happens, your soul is kind of set free to connecting with all the other passionate and lovely souls around, actually forming one spiritual unity. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me, if even joe was among us 🫶🌈🌀

Alex Acuña and Manolo Badreña are crucial for the sound of this project. The entire sound was so ahead of it's time.

[@Jack-np9lr]

as much as I love the percussionists and bassists that came before and after them including Chester Thompson, Peter Erskine, Omar Hakim, Victor Bailey, Alphonso Johnson, etc.. Manolo, Alex, and Jaco together is something seriously magical and is my favorite WR lineup.

[@j40bob1]

Jaco always gets the most attention but Alex Acuna is a beast. What a great drummer.

I had the opportunity to see this band in concert for the first time the same summer in London. I was a year 11 student in high school and I left the concert along with my brother and good friends with my mind blown. Long live Weather Report. Hammersmith Odeon, London, July 1976.

[@alsaulso1332]

I have not been to a concert yet that has transcended me like this one!! Music is the most important factor for all the musicians on the stage! Not how they look are what they are wearing!! We are missing this kind of pure love in music now!! This is needed and should serve as a reminder of reality in this flashy culture we live in today!! RIP Wayne Shorter!!

Percussion paella in a cosmic stew of notes, stimulating unpredictable snaps, beats in a wavering bass line all in impeccable timing to stimulate the senses for eons to come.

Absolutely awesome. My favorite lineup of Weather Report at their peak. Alex Acuna is a monster, and in combination with Manolo and Jaco forms the baddest rhythm section ever assembled. Coupled with Shorter's and Zawinul's compositions - so inspiring and uplifting. Every member a master of his instrument(s) - what a privilege to witness. Groundbreaking music from the heart with unmatched technical prowess. Wow.

You've done the world a great service by taking the time post this. This is my favorite era of Weather Report by far and to see an entire show, so well filmed and recorded, is a delight. I never knew this existed. I'd never had much luck finding clips of WP with Acuna drumming, who I love. This is great, thanks so much for posting.

I was fortunate enough to see this version of Weather Report live. Aside from the virtuosity, creativity, and just cosmic music, I remember Jaco being so charismatic onstage that he kind of was the center of everything. He was just larger than life.

I was lucky enough to live next door to Joe Z in the 80s in Scranton. We became great friends and he often showed me his pride and joy, his collection of Bohemian cranberry glass items.

What a piece of joy!! This is such a precious gift to all the listeners and music lovers in 2023!! Thank you for providing this content and quality! I believe, Montreux 1976 must have been some kind of historical…magical setting for live music….time, place, musicians, audience… Two of my definite favourites happened there. This awesome performance by Weather report as well as the second outstanding concert recorded on this festival in 1976: jimmy Cobham together with George Duke, John scofield and alphonso Johnson! Zawinul in the second half, vibing on the grand piano and finishing it on the synths….massive 😌

This music opened my ears (and mind !) to jazz when I was 16. I realize that some parts of this concert have been recorded on WR records, as Rumba Mama and I've been listening to this for over 35 years before seing the musicians making it. This is priceless to me, and very moving, so thanks a lot for the job. Hope many WR fans will appreciate too…

[@colinthorn]

Yes, an edited-down version of this performance of Rumba Mama opens the B side of WR's Heavy Weather album. Apparently it was so good that Joe and Wayne must have said ok, that NEEDS to be on the album.

[@michaelsweller470]

Shorter's sax solo on "Cannon Ball" gives me chills. The entire piece is brilliant, and I know that Zawinul wrote the piece as a tribute to his mentor Cannonball Adderley, but Shorter's sax playing is IMO an especially fitting tribute to Adderley.

GREAT !!!!!!!!! GREAT !!!!!!!! GREAT !!!!!!!! GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!! WEATHER REPORT !!!!!!!!

[@mateuszmattias]

At around 59:00 they start off the "Birdland" main theme (with some slight differences). That song however didn't come out until almost a year later on "Heavy Weather". I wonder if the song was in the process of being written during this period. Anyway it's always fascinating to hear pieces played partly or entirely a bit "before their time" like that.

[@colinthorn]

Yes, their music was always a "work in progress", I think ... That's what gives it its uniquely organic flavour. I noticed that Birdland riff too, not in its final form ... I think Zawinul always talked about how his compositions came out of improvisations - imagine just "improvising" that iconic riff!

My 4 year old daughter really digging the chorus in "Badia" makes me one very proud father. Also in regard to "Badia": can't help wondering, whether the utilization of the sound-processed Muezzin's Call is politically correct by todays standards. Musically it is just perfect, though. The way Wayne Shorter plays with it at 1:10:00 is magic.
